Evaluation of CO₂ Adsorption and Separation Materials

ー For the development of CO₂ solid adsorption materials, separation membrane materials, and CO₂ separation and recovery modules ー

To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, extensive research and development are underway on carbon dioxide (CO₂) adsorption materials and their evaluation systems. In the field of CO₂ adsorption and separation materials R&D, various separation and recovery methods are employed depending on the source and concentration of CO₂. It is essential to evaluate the performance and durability of these adsorption materials accordingly.

Do you face any of the following challenges to advance your R&D to the next stage?

Struggling to control pressure during testing
Difficulty conducting tests with a flow rate of just several liters per minute
Need to perform long-term continuous testing
Finding it hard to set up and configure evaluation test systems
Wanting to reduce the manhours required for testing
Seeking to improve the reproducibility of test results

HORIBA’s Solution
